One of the first items on the agenda for Congress in January 2013, if not the first, will be the new and even more Draconian assault weapons and magazine ban long since drafted by Dianne Feinstein, Democrat Senator from California. Here, in 1995, Dianne Feinstein explains why she would ban all private ownership of firearms if she could:

----

Moreover, THE TRANSFER TAX (REGISTRATION TAX) PER ITEM IS $200 APIECE FOR NFA ITEMS! Only, this would be a transfer from you to yourself, an extortionistic demand that you pay to keep something you have already legally purchased and responsibly owned. Its your classic example of bad lawmaking, with ex post facto overtones that would criminalize millions of law-abiding Americans.

And, Senator Feinstein, please tell the American Public what happens to these expensive firearms, these investments, after we grandfathered owners die? Will we be able to bequeath them to our children? Will we be able to sell them to afford nursing care in our old age ?

All this, let me remind you, would apparently be for your lawfully owned semiautomatic arms capable of working with a magazine of more than ten rounds. That would include the Winchester .351 rifle of 1907 and the Remington Model 8 hunting rifle patented in the year 1900, not just your AR15 or your Mini-14 Ruger Ranch Rifle. It would include the 1903 model Colt .32 pistol that saved my grandfathers life in the early 20th Century, and the WWI vintage Colt .45 pistol that sits in my gun safe at the moment. And it would include the .22 caliber Ruger 10/22 rifle you use when you take your kids to an Appleseed seminar on marksmanship and history, or just plinking at the backyard backstop.

Any elected official that has verbalized or written such a blatant disregard for the constitution and Bill of Rights ought to be immediately dragged from their office and jailed. The trial should consist of their words recommending that the constitution be violated. Time for tolerance in letting our leaders violate the document that gives them the permission to govern is at an end.

"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. 'We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted  and you create a nation of law-breakers  and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." ('Atlas Shrugged' 1957)

Blum is reported to be heavily tied to the PRC through his far east investment firm, Newbridge Capitol Corp. Blum’s partner at Newbridge, Peter Kwok, also served as a consultant to COSCO, and COSCO Hong Kong Holdings, a company owned by Chinese billionaire Li Ka-Shing. In 1989, Kwok helped CITIC and Li Ka- Shing raise $120 million to buy a HUGHES built communications satellite for a company also part owned by Chinese Generals.”

She’s a complete fraud,” says one longtime congressional staffer. “She has no interest in human rights problems in China.”

Feinstein’s romance with China dates to the 1970s, when she was mayor of San Francisco and became close friends with Jiang Zemin, then mayor of Beijing and now China’s president. In explaining her interest in U.S.-China relations, Feinstein has jokingly said, “In my last life I was Chinese.”

It is not possible to confirm this, but her passion for Beijing is more likely tied to the fact that her husband in her current life, merchant banker Richard Blum, has substantial business and real estate interests in China. He manages $750 million in investments for about 70 companies, with a large chunk of that amount tied up in China. Blum is also a director of Shanghai Pacific Partners, a major import-export firm.

“Richard C. Blum and his wife, U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein, work as a team and have made millions through varied schemes that include some questionable deals with Red China. Richard Blum gave former president Bill Clinton a lot of money in return for very lucrative business favors through the U.S. government sponsored Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). Richard Blum was also one of the persons that Bill Clinton allowed to sleep in the Lincoln Room of the White House.

“Blum is reported to be heavily tied to the PRC through his far east investment firm, Newbridge Capitol Corp. Blum’s partner at Newbridge, Peter Kwok, also served as a consultant to COSCO, and COSCO Hong Kong Holdings, a company owned by Chinese billionaire Li Ka-Shing. In 1989, Kwok helped CITIC and Li Ka- Shing raise $120 million to buy a HUGHES built communications satellite for a company also part owned by Chinese Generals.

Her criminal husband’s corrupt company, Richie “Dirtbag” Blum, has made many, many millions on defense contracts for weapons and munitions, from insider infomation and deals. They’re both worse than slime. Both she and he should be stood against a stone wall... IMO.

The hag might as well outlaw gravity. No edict will be complied with, our 2nd amendment rights will be practiced flagrantly and openly to these statist scums. Send in your jackboots, kill innocents, and then the law of the jungle commences on traitors who violated their oath.

I’m thinking that if it does get passed, local government could pass ordinances to the contrary. Like marijuana, this would not protect individuals from federal prosecution, but in the absence of an overriding state law, it would support local Sheriffs in refusing to have anything to do with enforcement of the federal law.

SCOTUS already ruled in the Printz decision (Brady Bill) that the federal government could not compel local enforcement.

Diane, you are an idiot. America has a culture problem and you know it. You help breed this culture. The method of attack is irrelevant. Liberals are responsible for this. Face It, YOU are the problem.

Come and take my defense one cartridge at a time you worthless hag. Oh thats right, you’ll send your proud men in blue to do your bidding. Get away from me.

You are not a leader nor do you possess any quality to even show promise as such. Fix YOUR CULTURE dingbat. I will kill it as it threatens me.
